The Fantasy Books

Midnight Sun

by Wagner, Karl Edward

Description

Welcome to the world of Kane, perhaps the most complex characters in early Sword and Sorcery pulp. Wagner with his Kane stores together with Howard's Conan helped shaped the Sword and Sorcery, giving new form to the nascent genre. The influence of the Kane books can be felt even in today's modern fantasy.Kane is, perhaps, the original fantasy antihero character, an utterly amoral immortal who wanders the earth delivering both justice and destruction at his whim and level of boredom.The stories are dark, despairing, and the character of Kane, an ever melancholy character -- a man cursed to wander the world forever; a man who has seen all and done all under the sun, now forced to endure both friend and enemy wither away and die while he remains, over and over, year after year, millennium after millennium.
